SoundCloud revamped the user interface of its iPhone app last year, and is now bringing the changes over to the iPad.

Spotify and Soundcloud users will be happy to know that both apps have been updated with iPhone 6 Plus optimizations. In addition, both apps have added new playlist features as well as a few bug fixes to keep things running smoothly.

In a bid to increase revenue and offer content creators the ability to monetize, SoundCloud has announced that it will be bringing ads to the service. The move follows rumors from earlier this year which suggested that the music service was close to signing licensing deals with major record labels.
